The whole thing reminds me of last seasons south park episode Member Berries. It's creepy.
 
At least they can just quietly stop watching the NFL until the politics fly over. Instead they decide to bring their weird looking faces up on the internet and act like your standard tin foil.

I think what makes this especially funny is that after Colin Kaepernick's political shitfits last year, you'd think the NFL would realize, "Hey, maybe talking about politics isn't the smart thing to do," especially since Kaepernick's escapades started bleeding money and people stopped watching. People watch sports specifically to get away from politics, it's why so many people like following it. It's an escape for a lot of people, and yet here's this player who wants to discuss politics when all you want is to watch him play.

But nope, now we're getting entire teams protesting and not standing up for the national anthem because it worked so well for Kaepernick. This does not bode well for the NFL, especially since their audience didn't take kindly to Kaepernick in the first place and now there's more of them doing it this year.

The NFL is gonna take a blow from this, I'm calling it right now.

Protesting the anthem and unironically likening it to a revolution is pretty fucking autistic, like grown men watching cartoons.

Most players who have started taking the knee recently are only doing so due to Trump's comments that players who protest during the pledge should be fired. The protests aren't about changing the anthem lol, it's about not firing people just because they stick up for their beliefs.
 
They shouldn't be salty about taking a knee during the anthem because it's a protest. They should be offended that black people feel they have to change to a posture of submission when the anthem plays.

I can't see how anyone can take Daily Stormer seriously when that site is about as off the rails as say, everydayfeminism or mic.
 
‘Sunday Night Football’ Ratings Down Again On Day Of Player Protests
On a day full of criticism from Donald Trump, political protests, linked arms, players taking a knee or not coming on the field at all during the national anthem, and renewed pleas for unity from the league, NBC and the NFL took a ratings hit on Sunday Night Football.

In metered market numbers, the primetime matchup that saw the Washington Redskins beat the Oakland Raiders 27-10 snared an 11.6/20, the worst SNF has performed this season so far. It’s an 8% dip from the early numbers of last week’s game, Atlanta’s 34-23 win over Green Bay. Amid cheers and boos from fans at FedEx Field in Maryland last night, the third week of the SNF season declined 10% from early numbers of the comparable game of last year on September 25, 2016.

Sunday’s SNF peaked with a 12.r5/20 during the second quarter from 9-9:30 PM ET. Still, NFL ratings are down double-digits this season so far after taking a similar tackle-for-loss last year.

These SNF numbers come on top of a tense Sunday that saw games across the nation under a new spotlight: how would teams respond to Trump’s blasts of Friday at a speech in Alabama and on social media. Started by currently unemployed quarterback and then San Francisco 49er Colin Kaepernick more than a year ago, several NFL players have been publicly protesting police brutality and racial injustice by not standing for the national anthem

It was a move the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host and football fan Trump decried, though the ever-ratings conscious POTUS later said in a tweet Sunday that linking arms was OK.

Linking arms is what the D.C team did last night, while nearly every single Raiders player stayed on the bench during the national anthem before the game on the Comcast-owned net.

The September 17 SNF game between the Falcons and Packers — originally reporting from 50 of 56 markets due to the aftermath of Hurricane Irma in Florida, and up against the Emmy Awards — went on to snag 20.2 million viewers. That final NBC viewership number was down 17% from the official SNF kickoff September 10.

I was actually expecting them to be up from curious viewers, but I guess you don't need to stick around for 4 hours to see their reactions.
